Mh rmm's a draft file after sending it successfully.  The default rmm action
is to rename it by placing a "#" in front of the name (locally, we put "," in
front of it instead, so this can be changed).  This allows you to delete a
bunch of messages and be able to recover them until overwritten by another rmm
or until you clean them up ("find $HOME/Mail -type f -name "#*" -print |
xargs /bin/rm").
